The psychometric properties of a Greek version of the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire–Appearance Scales (MBSRQ–AS) were studied. A total of 1,312 high school students (463 boys, 849 girls) were administered the Greek MBSRQ–AS, the Greek Appearance Schemas Inventory–Revised (ASI–R) and the Greek Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire–3 (SATAQ–3). An exploratory factor analysis revealed that the Greek MBSRQ–AS items significantly loaded with the scale's main factors. Internal consistencies of the subscales ranged from .76 to .86. Test-retest reliabilities ranged from .75 to .93. Convergent validity was also confirmed as the Greek MBSRQ–AS subscales correlated positively with the ASI–R and the SATAQ–3.
